What’s the difference between minimally invasive and open surgery

Usually, minimally invasive surgery generally refers to laparoscopic surgery, and the difference between conventional open surgery mainly lies in the size of the incision, cost, intraoperative vision and other aspects of the difference. 1. Incision size: minimally invasive surgery refers to the use of modern medical devices and related equipment such as laparoscopes to perform surgery, usually the incision is relatively small, usually only about 0.5 to 1cm; therefore, compared with open surgery, the amount of bleeding will also be less. 2. Cost: In general, the cost of lumpectomy is relatively high. 3. Intraoperative vision: Because of its high resolution, the laparoscope can more clearly identify the local subtle structures. Regardless of whether minimally invasive or open surgery is performed, it is recommended to go to a specialized hospital, clarify the cause of the disease and then under the guidance of the doctor for further examination to choose a suitable surgical method for you.
